Memorial day will bring again visitors to the cemeteries of the city. where in | many cases special services will be held | and the graves will be decorated. The | final resting places of many of the Na- | tion's most famous dead are to be found within the cemeteries of Washington or | in places nearby, and most of (h(‘s?.“ particularly those in Arlington, are well known to residents of the city as well as to visitors from out of town Practically unknown to those within the shadows of these “acres of God” are innumerable graves of persons whose names were once famous throughout the country or the community and whose deeds are now forgotten with the passing of t:me. Many fine memorials, ranking with the best works of art in the country, are to be found marking the final resting places of some of those who have gone beyond. The most famous and best known of these is doubtless the memorial erected by the late Henry Adams to his wife | in Rock Creck Cemetery.

In fact, it is said that Saint-Gaudens, when asked*what he should call it, answered that no name had been given to it, but that if he should call it anything it would probably be “The Peace of God.” Tt is certain that this beautiful figure in bronze, keeping silent guard in a seclud- ed spot surrounded by trees and rhodo- dendrons over the last mortal remains of Henry Adams and his wife, reflects more a mood of great peace than one of disturbing grief.

The admiral’s flagship has been beautifully sculptured in bas-relief at the base of the monument. Memorials to Henry D. Cooke, first governor of the District of Columbia, and Maj. Gen. Jesse Lee Reno, killed at the battle of South Mountain, are not far from that of Admiral Bailey Widow Walked to Grave.

The most extensively known is that of John Howard Payne, famous throughout the English-speaking world for his composition of *“Home Sweet Home.” It is not generally known that this song was the most popular melod; in an operetta, “The Maid of Milan, composed by Payne while he was in New York City, where for some time he acted on the stage as well as wrote for it. It is said that the song, “Home Sweet Home” brought its publishers $100,000. Payne dled many years after in| ‘Tunis, where he had later been sent as United States consul. He was buried in the little cemetery of St. George, overlooking the hills of Carthage, and 30 years later his body was brought back to the United States and buried in Oak Hill Cemetery. The memo- rial, bearing a bust of the author, com- poser and statesman, stands over the grave near the chapel. Close by is the original gravestone brought with the body from Tunis. On the side of a hill stands a marble shaft upon the top of which has been sculptured a furled sail with ropes hanging.
